In the last few days, I got lot of mails from greetingcard.org that I received a greeting card.  But, Gmail has marked them spam and thrown into spam folder.  Usually, I check only few spam messages that I think Gmail has wrongly marked as spam to see whether they are actually spam or not.

So, I opened the greetingcard.org mail today and seen that it is actually not coming from greetingcard.org.  From address is looked like this:  greetingcard.org
<webmaster@infinisource.com>.  Someone used loopholes in mailing script of that site or spoofed the mail to send this spam message.

Email read like this:

From above you can see that mail is coming from another site with the user name as greetingcard.org.  It shows the greeting card link as an .exe file, which may contain harmful virus, malware, or adware.

So, how can we report it so that the domain and server can be shutdown and save others from this email attack?

For a post on my blog yesterday, I needed to download an icon and from my bookmarks, I went to a site which was offering free icons for websites. There, all the icons were put on a webpage and if you need an icon, right click on it and use the option “Save Image As….” (Save Picture As…if you are using IE). If you want to download all, then it takes minutes. Very tedious. Also, if you get a mail with lot of images embedded in it and want to save them to your system, it’s time consuming. You have to right click on every image and save it to the system.

How to download them at one click without wasting our precious time?

If you are using Firefox, there is an extension called “DownThemAll.” Simply install the plugin and whenever you right click on a page, it shows a “DownThemAll” option. Just click it and you will see a window showing all images in it. You can even filter them by selecting jpg, gif, and png. Select the folder to save the files, click Start, and you are done. You can also specify archives (zip, rar, etc.) and videos.

If you are using Internet Explorer, I have another trick. Save the webpage by clicking File>Save As and then change “Save as Type” to “Webpage, Complete.” It creates an HTML file and a folder. You can find all the images in that folder.
